초록

By investigating the BNC corpus via a BNCweb version, this paper compares the collocation relations between two synonymous words, almost and nearly and explores the differences in collocation relations between them. The corpus-based analysis in this paper shows that there are significant differences in collocation relations between almost and nearly. In particular, it is shown in this paper that while almost is in a strong collocation relation with general adverbs and adjectives, nearly is in a strong collocation relation with the words of numbers. Further, it is also shown that there are rare cases where nearly modifies general adverbs ending with a -ly morpheme. From the analysis of middle and high school textbooks, it is shown that while the textbooks reflect the general tendency of almost and nearly in collocation relations, they have shortcomings in reflecting the strong collocation relation of almost with general adverbs and adjectives and that of nearly with other words except for the words of numbers.

Abstract

By investigating the BNC corpus via a BNCweb version, this paper compares the collocation relations between two synonymous words, almost and nearly and explores the differences in collocation relations between them. The corpus-based analysis in this paper shows that there are significant differences in collocation relations between almost and nearly. In particular, it is shown in this paper that while almost is in a strong collocation relation with general adverbs and adjectives, nearly is in a strong collocation relation with the words of numbers. Further, it is also shown that there are rare cases where nearly modifies general adverbs ending with a -ly morpheme. From the analysis of middle and high school textbooks, it is shown that while the textbooks reflect the general tendency of almost and nearly in collocation relations, they have shortcomings in reflecting the strong collocation relation of almost with general adverbs and adjectives and that of nearly with other words except for the words of numbers.
